We strongly recommend female dancers purchase a skin-toned body liner to wear while backstage and under their Nutcracker costume! Many dancers have already purchased one to wear for previous recitals or Nutcrackers- you do not need to buy a new one if it still fits. We do have sample body liners to try on in the lobby!
Here are some of the benefits of wearing a skin-toned body liner:
Added privacy when changing costumes:
- Dancers can arrive already wearing their skin-toned body liner and tights under their street clothes!
- Due to the lack of privacy backstage, wearing a skin-toned body liner can help make dancers more comfortable when changing costumes in the dressing rooms as well as during quick changes when CS staff may be helping them change.
Reduced scratchiness!
- A skin-toned body liner might also help some costumes feel less scratchy! :)
While we encourage wearing a body liner backstage, this is an OPTIONAL purchase! In order to ensure we can get the the right quantity and sizes in time, please fill out the online order form ASAP below!
**For dancers in Kindergarten Combo (Toys), Int. Ballet 4 (Mice) and dancers who are Party Children-BOYS- your costume will work with wearing a sleeveless, camisole or tank leotard, if you would prefer not to get a skin-toned body liner.
Cost: $18 child sizes/ $20 adult sizes (plus tax)
PLEASE SUBMIT A SEPARATE ORDER FORM FOR EACH DANCER!
If you have any questions, please ask and we will be happy to help!
